Summary

Migration, especially rural-urban migration, is often blamed for many of the problems faced by developing countries. However, the overcrowding and poor quality of life in cities is as much a reflection of rapid population growth as of the relentless drift away from the countryside. The contributors to this volume look at the issues involved in migration and urbanization and their relation to growth. They consider a number of important factors as they relate to migration--education, employment, technology and productivity, remittance flows and expenditure patterns, and housing and civic amenities--and conclude that migration to urban areas does generate some benefits for rural areas, benefits that should not be overlooked when formulating population distribution policies.
